This is for you Sex and the City Watchers....If you remember the episode where Carrie finds these Manolos, and says "i thought these were an urban shoe myth". Well being the dork that I am, I bought em. I NEVER wear them, never, so that was $515 well spent. So this post is for them....I love you Manolo Blahnik!

This was taken by a dear friend in college of another friend. I love the capture of the light over his hand with the cigarette.It's hard to believe this was 6 years ago.....Credits : Lauren Adelman - Photography : Matthew Matto - Hand & Cigarette

I wouldn't necessarily go out looking for cowboy boots this season, i'm more likely to be coveting the new Givenchy sandals, or the fringed Louboutins...but when you find a vintage pair of snake skin cowboy boots you HAVE to snatch them up, just in case!!!

"Limi's showroom was apparently filled with color and her runway backdrop was her favorite shade of pink, but at the last minute, she'd decided to focus her show on black and white, the signature combination of Japan's fashion avant-garde. That's her heritage, after all, and it was no big surprise that she went on to deliver the oversize proportions, asymmetry, and masculine/feminine interplay that you expect in the work of her dad, Yohji. But if the editing of color suggested some shrinkage of the sense of wicked fun that separates Limi from her forebears, that wasn't how things turned out. For one thing, this was a show whose soundtrack married poignant piano and shrieking Stooges.

Maybe that was the music the models were listening to on their Princess Leia headphones. One outfit was composed of shades of lilac; another, with a swingy red peasant skirt, suggested what might have been. Otherwise, Limi pushed the monochrome oversize to extremes with a long white shirt and an equally long skinny tie, or a jacket that was elongated to the knees, or suspendered clown-sized pants. But she also showed a little black dress with a portrait neckline, and a black suit (three-quarter sleeve jacket, pencil skirt) that was a girlier version of the twisted-but-dressy stuff her father excels at. A tiered dress in what looked like concertina-pleated midnight blue organza was positively glamorous. Then Limi hung the same idea off skinhead-thin suspenders. Just the kind of thing that works with a modern girl's tattoos."credit Style.com
